An Investment Analysis is a comparison of the costs and benefits to determine the
return on investment.
The taxpayer perspective compares state and local taxpayers' benefits and costs. The
benefits are the extra tax revenue and lower state and local government costs. These
are calculated by applying average state and local taxes to the same benefits stream
used in the social investment analysis. All state and local government support is
included in the costs.
